Who ever said sci-fi had to be serious? That’s essentially the question Hulu’s Dimension 404 asks. The resulting show watches like The Twilight Zone meets YouTube, and it’s a combination you probably didn’t think you needed in your life until now.

Concept-wise, Dimension 404 borrows heavily from The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Each 45-minute long episode dives into another mystery of “Dimension 404” — the modern day and tech savvy Twilight Zone — where a star-studded cast has to confront a technology horror story. However, what sets Dimension 404 apart is its tone. Whereas Black Mirror almost always treats its warped episodes as serious cautionary tales about identity and our dependance on technology and The Twilight Zone only became campy with time, Dimension 404 is unapologetically comedic. The lighting is bright, the jokes are a bit too knowingly cheesy, and the many action sequences walk the line between impressive and overly scripted. The series is like watching a bunch of delightfully campy B-movies starring celebrities you know.

Speaking of, Dimension 404 has far more recognizable talent than you would expect for this niche series. The show’s first episode, “MatchMaker,” is horror story about dating apps that not dissimilar to Black Mirror’s “Nosedive” and Community’s “App Development and Condiments.” However, it’s not the plot but the episode’s winking dialogue and casting that steals the show. Robert Buckley from One Tree Hill fame tackles a role that’s simultaneously funny and heartfelt, Breaking Bad’s Matt L. Jones (Badger) makes a welcome appearance, and the first episode also includes major characters played by Lea Michele (Glee) and Joel McHale (Community and The Great Indoors). I don’t want to give the episode’s big twist away, but “MatchMaker” uses its cast well. Instead of relying on its roster of recognizable faces, it allows the episode’s main characters to explore the campy emotional inevitabilities of the universe it has created. Likewise, Episode 2, “Cinethrax,” features performances from Patton Oswalt and Sarah Hyland (Modern Family). From the beginning, Dimension 404 is well aware of the campy tone it’s trying to achieve, and its use of niche actors really adds to the show’s ominous yet fun atmosphere.

It’s hard to imagine Dimension 404 existing or being successful outside the world of streaming. Each episode is certainly strong enough to stand on its own, but the series so winkingly borrows from B-movies, cult shows, and its actors’ past roles, it’s a show that always feels a bit too in the know (McHale’s role is a clear nod to MeowMeowBeanz). In the hands of another creative team, Dimension 404 could feel grating, but instead it’s just fun. I credit much of this tonal success to RocketJump, the special effects studio known for its viral videos, Video Game High School, and the short-making Hulu series RocketJump The Show. Fun, intentionally bad, and a bit too winking has always been a balancing act RocketJump has played with. However, Dimension 404 shows off how delightful the studio’s end result can be once it gets it right.

If you’re looking for another sci-fi series to darkly ponder the role of humanity in an increasingly tech-reliant world, Dimension 404 probably isn’t for you. However, if the idea of of bringing Black Mirror to YouTube and mixing it with the charms of Patton Oswalt is appealing, you should absolutely check it out. Dimension 404 probably won’t receive any Emmy nominations, but it’s a ton of fun.
